Limited Edition Silkscreen by Henry Taylor
Artspace and Phaidon, in partnership with Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, are pleased to announce a new limited edition silkscreen by preeminent contemporary artist Henry Taylor. For nearly forty years, Henry Taylor has depicted the world around him through his own eyes, often resulting in compelling images of diverse subjects from family and friends to celebrities, politicians, or strangers. Combining flat planes of color with areas of generous detail and loose brushstrokes, his new limited edition print, like his paintings, radiates with life.

Henry Taylor
Portrait of Andy Robert, 2024
Taylor is known for creating empathetic portraits that present holistic, complex, and deeply human narratives. “It’s about respect, because I respect these people. It’s a two-dimensional surface, but they are really three-dimensional beings.” —Henry Taylor
Intimately engaged with art history, Taylor’s work recalls the provocative and transformational paintings of artists like Philip Guston and Pablo Picasso. The expansive retrospective exhibition Henry Taylor: B Side recently traveled from MOCA Los Angeles to The Whitney in New York and was celebrated as the most consequential museum exhibition of 2023, garnering countless glowing reviews.
“As long as there are artists like Henry Taylor around, painting is in little danger of dying.”
— Roberta Smith, The New York Times
Henry Taylor on Art, Life & Everything In Between
Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture
Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture is one of the country’s foremost educational experiences for artists. Located on a 350-acre campus in Maine, the nine-week program provides 65 emerging artists and 11 faculty artists with a collaborative and rigorous environment that is shaped by risk-taking, mentorship, and peer-to-peer exchange. Skowhegan does not consider financial ability or circumstances in its admissions process and, instead, focuses on an individual’s commitment to artmaking and inquiry. Its exceptionally diverse population of artists go on to become leaders in the field, as evidenced by the global presence of the alumni and faculty and their countless exhibitions, teaching positions, and awards, including 24 MacArthur “genius” grants. Founded in 1946 by artists, for artists, Skowhegan provides an atmosphere that is intentionally responsive and adaptive in its programmatic model to encourage participants to occupy a space in contrast to market or academic expectations.
